올림포스 고등 독해의 기본 unit 1 수능 Analysis

Some adults even consciously make children feel their smallness and helplessness. Others treat children as animated dolls to be played with. Others again treat children as valuable property that must be carefully watched, while still others make them feel they are so much useless human freight. A combination of these attitudes on the part of parents and other adults often leads children to believe they have control over only two things: the pleasure and displeasure of: their elders.
